5. Develop a conceptual design for a robot attendant at a gas station. The driver should
be able to get the robot to fill the tank without getting out of the car. In particular,
• describe how the complete system would function;
• the component technologies that would be required; and
• the possible benefits of such a system.
Do you think such a system would be profitable?
6. A pump supplies water to a large reservoir. The pumps actuated by switch S. The water
level is sensed by two pressure switches A and B, set to 2 and 3 m, respectively (i.e.
A=1 if the level exceeds 2m, and B=1 if it exceeds 3m). Two ON-OFF valves C and D
control the amount of water withdrawn from the tank, with C being the larger of the
two. Each valve has a limit switch mounted on its stem, which transmits a signal when
the valve is open.

To prevent the water level from dropping too low, the pump is to be actuated if any of
the following should occur:
1. Water level has dropped below 2m.
2. Water level is between 2 and 3 m, and valve C is open.
3. Water level is above 3m, but both valves are open.

The function S for actuating the pump is to be derived.
